Nicolo Bulega lost out on top spot during the WorldSBK test at Portimao, as 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Toprak Razgatlioglu finished less than a tenth clear.

Bulega, who had topped 🔯day one and both days at Jerez, has been the star of testing so far but admitted his stunning pace is only the begi📖nning. 

The Supersport champion does not feel at 100% yet, despite bein🍌g fast over one lap and race distance.

“It was a very good day; my feeling with the bike is nice,” began Bulega when speaking to WorldSBK.com. “Obviously, I🍒 need to adapt as I’m not at 100% but it’s normal. We’re working very well all together.

“I’ll go to Australia with good positivity. The𝓡 lap was wit🌊h the SCQ but with the SCX, I was very fast so apart from lap times – which are important but not a lot – I am happy because my race pace was good.”

With Alvaro Bautista nursi൩ng pain and on a different testing program, Bulega has been their challenger at the top of the timingsheets.

But Bulega feels more is ye🥂t to come after admitting he still has ma🧜rgin to improve.

The Italian said: “I think it has been ver🔥y good; we started at Jerez with a normal feeling but every day, my feeling was getting better, so this is very impo☂rtant and I think we have some margin.

“We’ll try to be more ready in Australia. It’s a little bit better than expected. I don’t have a lot of things to do; more time on the bike, do more laps and understand the bikꦅe﷽ better with worn tyres and low fuel.

“I am excited and looking forward to Australia with this amazing bike,🍎 as Phillip Island is my favouri🌠te circuit.”
